As a survivor of the 9/11 attacks, I find it appalling that Khalid Sheik Mohammed will be tried in federal court in downtown Manhattan.

First, by hosting the trial in New York we are making an already rich, prime target area even more appealing.

Second, this man is a prisoner of war and should be treated as such. To try him in an American court is to grant him all the rights under the Constitution that you or I would receive. He doesn’t deserve these liberties that he so despises.

It is very disconcerting that even after such a horrible occurrence on our soil that we are willing to sacrifice justice in the name of political correctness.
